Democrat Mark Harris (WI-06) meeting with supporters
Dear friends,
It's October, the time when elections are won and lost and the course of policy for our great nation is set. The men and woman who we decided to send to Congress will have a great impact on the future of our country. And at this moment, one lone Democrat is about to launch his final assault on one of the worst politicians out there. His name is County Executive Mark Harris and he is running against men's rights activist and all around crazy State Senator, Glenn Grothman in Wisconsin's swingy 6th congressional district.
Here's a quick run down of Glenn Grothman's political positions:
Glenn Grothman on Equal Pay Rights
"You could argue that money is more important for men. I think a guy in their first job, maybe because they expect to be a breadwinner someday, may be a little more money-conscious. To attribute everything to a so-called bias in the workplace is just not true."

Glenn Grothman on Single-Parenthood
"A controversial bill targeting single parents came to the table at the Senate Committee on Public Health, Human Services and Revenue public hearing in Wisconsin this week.
State senator Glenn Grothman, an admitted opponent of the social welfare establishment that he believes encourages women to have children out of wedlock, introduced Senate Bill 507, which would formally consider single parenthood a contributing factor to child abuse, if passed into law.
SB507 would require the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board to emphasize that non-marital parenthood is a contributing factor to child abuse and neglect."

Glenn Grothman on women in the workforce
"Also, and any big company will tell you this, they're doing what they can to promote the women ahead of the men. Now in addition to the fact that that leads to a little bit of chicanery as people pretend the woman's owning the company when the guy's owning the company. In the long run a lot of women like to stay at home and have their husbands be the primary bread winner. You have to ask yourself in this country can we continue to exist if we have a government that is actively discouraging the government or the businesses from hiring men? And that's a very sensitive issue but that's what's going on in America today. It's another issue that nobody is tackling."

If it was not obvious, we can not allow this man to become a congressman and therefore, we must help Mark Harris' final assault succeed! This a winnable race and the
RNCC knows it. They are more than worried about Grothman blowing this seat and have instructed him on a Rose Garden strategy (ducking debates, hiding from the media, etc...) in hopes of having him win just by the R next to his name on the ballot. We can not allow Glenn Grothman to Where's Waldo? his way into Congress and there are two things we can do to stop that from happening. Here's the kicker, one is
absolutely free! Firstly, please consider sending some money Mark's way:
https://secure.actblue.com/... his fundraising has really picked up since September but every penny counts.
Secondly and this is the completely free way of fighting back against Grothman: Rec this diary and go to the website:
http://realglenngrothman.com/. Real Glenn Grothman is a website set up by Mark Harris and it is a great resource for finding information on Grothman's positions, the ones he does not want voters of WI-06 to know about and during this time in the election cycle, a lot of undecided voters look for information about the candidates and If we can make that site the second coming of
Santorum it could be a huge boost to Mark's campaign! In conclusion, we have the power to stop the male version of Michele Bachmann from becoming a congressman. We should use it.
Sincerely,
Edgeworth.
